2021 NFL Draft: Ranking a loaded crop of OTs after Penei Sewell
By Scott Gorman
9. Dillon Radunz – North Dakota State
The North Dakota State Bison have been extremely successful at the NCAA Division I FCS level for a long time. And a big part of their recent success can be attributed to their offense and players like OT Dillon Radunz. The ascending prospect performed well this season and continued that with a strong showing in the Senior Bowl.
Radunz carries considerable upside heading into the 2021 NFL Draft. He has the perfect size and length for a projected NFL left tackle. He’s more of an unknown than the rest of the players on this list but could end up among the best at the position in a few years. Radunz is squarely in the second-round mix as we get closer to April.
10. Jackson Carman – Clemson
The Clemson Tigers entered the 2020 college season with a slew of NFL hopefuls and tremendous talent all around. One of those players is standout OT, Jackson Carman. The versatile Trevor Lawrence protector made starts on both the right and left sides during his time with the Tigers.
Next. Jaguars leaning towards Mac Jones with first overall pick. dark
While he didn’t perform at the elite level some expected, Carman should hear his name called before the end of the second day. He’s projected to start on the right side at first but could see time on the blindside in the right system. Carman has the size to be successful in a power-blocking scheme right away at either RT or even the OG position.
